Year of Manufacture *: 2004 Engine Size and Code *: v6 petrol ( Optional) Fault Codes: none
This vehicle came in yesterday with the customer reporting bad starting hot or cold & poor running mainly under load. There were no faults stored so we checked fuel pressure. It only had 1.5 bar but should have been around 4 bar. With only 1 fuel pipe to the rail I assumed the pump & pressure regulator to be in the tank. Finding the pump underneath confused me a bit but looking at the filter cleared things up. It had a pipe going back to the tank so I figured the regulator was in the filter. Fitted new filter & pressure was back up to 4 bar, car running like a song. I cut the filter open out of curiosity. I'm sure plenty of you guy's have come across this before but it's a new one on me.
